Spring is here. Our pick of the week is Elizabeth and James Summer Cohen Super Check Button Down Shirt You can pair it with hot leggins or jeans.

Designer Zac Posen incorporated the trend into a stunning yellow mini dress that was displayed on his runway at Mercedes-Benz NYC Fashion Week. At first glance, this mini is adorable, but once the cut-outs on each side are noticed it suddenly turns cute into sultry.

In London, Basso & Brooke added the cut-out trend to their patterned pieces, making each piece extremely noteworthy. These little cuts into the fabric, showing only a sliver of skin along the chest area, are perfect for those who don’t want to show bits of their bust area.

Balmain and Michael Kors showed affection towards this trend as well, displaying it in many of the runway ensembles during Paris Fashion Week. The collections of Spring/Summer 2010 illustrate how the simple dresses can be enhanced with a memorable detail that would immediately attract the attention of the public.

Jean Paul Gaultier is the real symbol of chameleon designers who succeed in stealing the show for the rest of the season with their unique perspective of modern fashion trends. The cutout style is best illustrated through the skin-flashing t-shirt as well as skirt and top ensemble that challenge the limits of tailoring. The cutout sections are spread all over the fabric and create a net-like impression that would perfectly highlight the underwear that should be undoubtedly of high quality. Those who take a bow in front of the fashion fantasies of Jean Paul Gaultier will be keen to enrich their wardrobe with a similar acquisition.

Lastly, the ever-fashionable Gucci label brought the peek-a-boo trend to Milan Fashion Week making it the hot new trend for spring.

This is the season to mix femininity, comfort and elegance. Follow our style pointers and you’ll look and feel as a fashion icon!

Here is our hot dozen:

Lingerie on the outside

Sexy bustier and bra tops are not to be worn underneath our clothes any more. They are our clothes!

The trend was spotted at Stella McCartney, Fendi, Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Jean Paul Gaultier, Isaac Mizrahi shows.

Knotting and draping

Nothing complicated. The role model to be copied is Ancient Greek clothes. Fits perfectly and glosses any shortcomings over. Im totally into Burberry’s dresses!

Legs in shorts

Summer is a perfect season to show the strongest weapon of all women- legs. It is high time to use it. Watch out, guys! It’s up to you which one to choose tap pants from Cynthia Rowley or some micro shorts by Balmain ,short shorts and boy shorts by Blumarine or hotpants from Mark Jacobs.  You’ll hot in any of them!

Sheer

Light see-through dresses and blouses are a good way to turn up the heat this spring. They are so sexy but never vulgar. So don’t be afraid to choose some chiffon dress for a party like Vera Wang’s or the tiny one by Versace.

Blazer

Top the feminine dress with an austere blazer. Pair the pantsuit with some high heals-  elegance is our strength, girls!

I so love Ralph Lauren’s suits and boyfriend blazers by Pringle of Scotland! Don’t you also?

Prints, and moreover patterned pants!

This summer is so rich in prints even our trousers are no longer to be block color. Some sweet patterned pants were spotted at Matthew Williamson and Luella, DKNY, Etro, Balenciaga , Anna Sui’s fashion shows.

There is a huge variety of print patterns to wear: stripes, florals, graphic prints and abstract shapes.In any of them  you’ll look fashionable.

Touch of sparkle

The trend that is built to last. The only rule: try to be chic not showy

Belts

Show off your curls and accentuate it with a skinny (like Pringle of Scotland and Paul Smith) or wide leather belts (Oscar de la Renta and Gucci). Every fashionista knows the right way to wear them!

Jumpsuits

Jumpsuits keep abandoning runways and our lives too! I would say more: jupsuits are must-haves this summer!  They are so easy to wear. Pair your jumpsuit with some big accessories and you won’t leave a party unnoticed.  The one like Vera Wang’s will do the thing!

Nudity and ice-cream colors

The vast majority of shows opened up with all shades of nude, peach and lavender colors (Donna Karan, Versace, Burberry, Miu Miu)

While some people might be scared that wearing nude will make them look pale or washed out, this can be a colour that anyone can embrace.

White

White is definitely a summer color. Laconic clear lines and the noblest color together will give you tremendous effect.

So hit the ivory coast with an all-white palette of romantic and immaculate looks in everything from softly tailored pantsuits(Gucci) to whipped-up, airy little dresses like Cacharel’s.

Dress trends for Spring-Summer 2010 are diverse and sometimes surprising. Read and know what you should wear to look fashionable and womanly this year.

Little black dress. It is classic and chic and women, generation after generation, tend to own at least one perfect LBD in their wardrobe. Such dress always works well. All you need to do is to find accessories to suit the style and occasion.

Strapless dress. This type of dresses are perfect for special events and red carpets. They look sophisticated and show the beauty of woman’s neck and decolette. Wearing a strapless gown even the most ordinary girl will attract atttention.

One-shoulder dress. This style has been with us for a few seasons already and is still very popular both with designers and customers. Single-shoulder gowns are often chosen to grace on the red carpet and there are dresses which suit everyday situations, too.

Leather dress. This trend has come to us from colder season of Fall-Winter 2009/2010. Leather looks interesting and luxurious but dresses made of this material are obviously not the best for summer heat.

Light dress. As a great contrast to leather dresses come light and uber-feminine ones. This type of frocks is perfect for walking outdoors and enjoying the warm sun. They look pretty and you will hardly feel hot in them.

Sheer dress. Sheer dresses are for confident girls, those who feel their body is good enough to show. Light airy fabrics create the illusion of fairy-tale beauty.

Cutaway dress. Another option for confident girls is a dress with cutaways. Such design looks sexy and unusual. And you will always be the center of attention.

Dress + belt. This is the hottest trend of the season. Belts come with all styles and outfits. And with dresses belts look good, too. Belts can add glamour and chic or be playful and delicate, Everything depends on how you wear those. Experiment a lot to find the style of your own.

Lacy dress. Speaking about femininity and sexuality we just cannot miss the lace as the great fabric for expressing both these characteristics. Lace reveals much but hides a lot eather and that is attractive about it.

Flower dress. A couple of fashion seasons ago we saw this trend blossoming. Flowers in all shapes and prints were used everywhere, from outfits to jewelry. And as it turns out fashion repeats itself! Flowers are again hot.

Simple dress. If you have got tired of multiple details this trend is for you. Simple designs with no frills, sequins, bows and ribbons look beautiful, but if you choose to wear them opt for noticable accessories like red hat, chunky jewelry or extraordinary shoes.

Printed dress. Prints are popular as never before. Mostly these are tiny polca dots, flowers, stripes, strawberries, etc.

Frilled dress. All kinds of frills are trendy this spring and summer. They can be long and scarce or short and dense.

Layered dress. Despite the fact it is warm and sunny designers offer us to wear layers. You can choose knitted fabrics or light chiffon ones.

Extravagant dress. There are women who refuse wearing common dress styles. They want to stand out, to attract attention. For such ladies extravagant dresses are created. Although few designers specialize on those, what they make is a real work of art.

As you see being fashionable is not difficult as there are plenty of styles to choose from. Hope you like the post!

Waiting the new shoe collection with big interest !

Now we will speak about hat trends and you will see that hats which are in style are too democratic and slipshod. I wonder if designers wished to create styles showing people don’t care much the whole planet is in trouble.

Well, generally if you feel you don’t want to purchase something new for the season just wear your classic fedora hat, a cap or a kerchief – all those which have been with us for a while. But what you have to forget is a beret, put it deeper into your closet for better times.

Let’s turn to trends at last. Hat Trends for Spring-Summer 2009!

Panama hat

Panama hat is a new thing for us and we don’t know exactly how to wear it yet. It looks great but you should wear it with chic as if you are wearing an elegant wide-brimmed hat. Otherwise you run the risk of looking a bit silly.

Panama hats are charming and they remind me of the 60s and the 70s. This hat style goes well with trenches, sporty windbreakers, denim clothes, cashmere cardigans, etc.

Fedoras in men style

As we have already mentioned this spring we see fedora hats again and now they are more in men style.

This item of our wardrobe makes us look confident and modern.

Safari style hats

Another hot trend of spring and summer is an oversized hat in safari style. It also looks pretty mannish with a high crown, wide brims and a natural color palette – sand grey, terracotta, khaki, greenish or beige hues.

Such hats can be successfully paired with rucksacks.

70s style hats

In case you want something more feminine designers offer us hats in the 70s style. They have rounded crowns and soft wide brims.

These hats are for those who like looking womanly.

Straw hats

For the hottest season designers offer us cute straw hats in style of the 20s. They are practical and interesting.

Turbans

This super hit will be taken by majority of women with alert. First of all because turban is not easy to put on, even if you buy the ready one.

Secondly it is not so simple to wear. Your neck, shoulders, turn of the head – these all should be held with pride and dignity.

Besides, we all have some idea of where to wear a turban – this can hardly be an office, local store, party, etc.

But designers seem to wish to make us forget about all those stereotypes concerning the turbans. And as a result we see turbans worn with trenches, jackets, denim garments and other clothes in spring-summer collections.

Hair accessories

In spring many women prefer to take off any headwear and show the beauty of the hair. Designers have plenty of ideas on how to decorate the hair with little pretty items.

Well, let’s begin from circlets adorned with ribbons and bows. Nice fabrics, pink and pastel colors make them look cute and exquisite.

By the way, bows are of much importance now on various hair items but they are no longer as voluminous as before, they are much flatter but still very feminine.

Artificial flowers used in styling are very popular too and look great both on short and long hair.
That is all about the hottest trends in hat fashion. Find the hat that looks best on you and make your female friends envy!

Here are the lingerie trends for this spring and summer 2009. Follow them and be always sexy and stylish!

Black. Black lingerie will always be trendy. This time lacy black sets are on the top. They can be entirely lacy and transparent or with a humble lace trim.

Retro style. Lingerie fashion isn’t changeable much and nearly every year we see retro styles as trendy. You can be radical and choose for a cotton set with knickers or high-waisted panties, or opt for a pin-up set. These look very romantic but can hardly be worn with everyday clothes.

Floral prints. This tendency has been with us for a few seasons already. But new models are distinct for more romanticism.

The most popular detail is a tiny flower pattern on pastel-toned lingerie of retro style. Cute and sentimental. Embroidery is not in fashion this season.

Blue. Blue is a favorite again as in 2007 and 2008. This color looks great on women of summer type.

Blue of this season is bright and vivid: azure, indigo, violet, turquoise. Embroidery on blue looks beautiful if it is made in a contrast color.

Wild prints. Wild prints on lingerie are not so fashionable this year as they used to be previously. I would say safari and jungle styles are almost out of fashion already.

But still some fashion houses believe it is something women will like to wear this summer.

Black-and-white. This color combination is super hot in lingerie as well as in other items of women’s wardrobe during this warm season.

Looks wonderful and hot!

Red. Red is a perfect color for lingerie. Each year certain tones of red become popular. 2009 sees the arousing interest for bright pink and coral hues.

Look for sexy lingerie sets in this color to be right in style!

Classic white and beige. White and beige lingerie is beyond comparison when it comes to sales. It is no wonder these tints are popular – they are versatile and barely seen through the garments.

They are always in style and look cute.

Polka dots. Black and white polka dots, red and black ones for lingerie – aren’t they look interesting?

The Flirt Low Rise Hipster S Naughty Naked Dots

That is all about lingerie trends designers have offered us this season.

There are plenty of styles and colors, so each woman can find something just for her!

And in this season the bold colors are main.

Varnished colored shoes must be treated with care.

When preffering varnished heels and boots this will be right for you: stop be decency, only luxury!

BCBGirls – Ariel (Sunflower Paint Wash Pearl Patent) – Footwear

First of all let’s speak about tights and hosiery to wear with above-mentioned must-have of the spring. You will need:

Kenzo introduced the combination of sandals and knee-high boots with sheer pantyhose, dresses, sweater dresses and coats.

Valentino preferred to match sandals with tights, dresses and coats.

Emanuel Ungaro made ankle boots of a complicated form which should be matched with tights of contrast colors. To follow Emanuel Ungaro’s style you will need dresses, skirts and jackets, coats and cardigans.

Salvatore Ferragamo decided the following combination will be the best: ankle boots + tights + a dress + a jacket of free tailoring.

Givenchy’s ankle boots were among the brightest. They were paired with pantyhose with open toes, opaque knee socks, dresses, trousers, jackets and coats.

Marni’s collection included lots of ankle boots and knee-high boots. The choice of the designer was to wear them with tights and knee-high socks of contrast colors, skirts and dresses.
